Wiper Patriotic Front leader Kalonzo Musyoka has dismissed a letter circulating on social media purporting to show his appointment as part of an African Union shuttle diplomacy mission.
The letter, allegedly from the Office of the President of Kenya and addressed to the African Union Commission, claims Musyoka was selected by President William Ruto to represent Kenya in a diplomatic engagement related to the upcoming elections in Côte d’Ivoire.
However, in a statement on Thursday, August 7, Kalonzo dismissed the document as fake, insisting that he will never work with the Kenya Kwanza administration.
"Absolutely fake. I will always stand with the people of Kenya. I will not dialogue with those who murder and abduct young Kenyans. #WanTam is not only a reality, it is an eventuality," he said.

This comes months after Kalonzo was also forced to clear the air following reports that he had joined Ruto's government.
Social media was awash on Wednesday, March 12, with videos and reports that the Wiper leader had met and held talks with President Ruto at State House.
A video doing rounds on social media showed the former Vice President meeting Ruto at State House in the company of Energy CS Opiyo Wandayi and Nyamira Senator Okongo Omogeni.
However, Kalonzo flagged the video and disclosed that the events happened in March 2024, adding that it was meant to mislead the public and create a false narrative about his political stance.
"Why are they panicking? The people's loyal coalition will never be party to the biggest betrayal of Kenyans for political expediency and temporary comfort. #RutoMustGo," he wrote on X.
It was later established that the video was from Kalonzo's visit to State House on March 8, 2024, to present the National Dialogue Committee (NADCO) report to Ruto.
Speaking during the event, Ruto commended the committee's efforts, expressing optimism that the recommendations would address critical constitutional concerns.
"I had no doubt in my mind, having travelled this journey as a politician, that this was a doable assignment. We have credentials, as a country, that we are believers in democracy and that we can always use democratic means to resolve whatever issues that may arise," he said.
